Abstract : The recurrent nova T Pyxidis underwent its seventh and most recent outburst on 2011 Apr 14.29. Optical, broadband photo-polarimetric observations were obtained with the 2m IGO telescope on a few occasions during the early phases of the outburst. The results of these observations are presented, interpreted in the context of the overall evolution of the outburst.
